LANGUAGE

We've created a new kind of talk for parenting in tough moments. We give you the words to bring immediate relief to stressed connections, helping everyone relax, pivot and get unstuck. Learn our language to build vibrant - lasting - safe - connections and leave behind the shaming, blaming, threatening, punishing language of yesteryear.

ATTACHMENT

Secure attachments with caregivers serve as protective antidotes to anxiety, depression and addiction. Learn what comprises secure attachment and how to build a secure connection with yourself and your child at the same time.

BOUNDARIES

We teach the how of setting and holding healthy boundaries in a gentle way with ourselves, our kids, and our partners, creating an environment built on trust and safety.

The LAB Method helps parenting become a healing and reparative experience, rather than a wounding one. Polly's simple tools put ‘gentle power’ back in the hands and hearts of parents and partners, empowering parents to truly relax while they LEAD.

The "What can I say?" Cards get you unstuck

"These cards are the ultimate direction finder when I feel like I've lost my way with my kids. It's the only parenting guide I'll ever read."

- Mark N., father of two

Us parents can sound like broken records saying the same old stuff again and again, causing distance and disconnection to grow. Do you ever wish someone would just tell you how to talk to help you get a better result? A 'What Can I Say?' card can be that whisper in your ear!

Our Family Talk deck will refresh how you speak with your kids while you hold the reins and build trust at home. Our Tech Talkdeck empowers parents to speak in clear and kind ways about technology use at home, helping you steer around the potholes, diffuse the screen time landmines, and open up a refreshing dialogue about how to stay truly ‘connected’.

For parents who just can't stomach another parenting book, try digesting a card or two instead. Read a couple at time or just one a day to refresh how you speak with your kids.

Special Delivery Telegrams

There is no need to stay stuck when there is a communication log-jam at home. A Telegram loosens the log jam and helps understanding get flowing again. Each Telegram is designed to build closeness, amplify healing at home and grow fresh positive connections between family members. Sharing our inner experiences can feel so risky and so can hearing the truth (especially when the truth is hard to hear). Writing a Telegram makes it easier to communicate in a productive way and receiving one makes it easier to slow down and truly hear what is being shared.

Families can learn to communicate in constructive and rewarding ways without a therapist by their side using Special Delivery Telegrams.

Seven different Telegrams to choose from. Each $12 pad includes 25 tear-off pages.
